Let me just start with where I'm coming from. I've been a professional drone racer for about 3 years and it's my current source of income. A typical 4s race drone pulls anywhere from 70 - 130a depending on KV / prop choice. Our lipos are tiny in comparison to surface RC with the average size pack being a 4s 1500. As you can imagine pulling 130a from a 1500 mah battery is really hard on the pack.

That being said the main thing we do for longevity is to make sure to not drain the pack below 3.6v per cell. I'm even more conservative and won't go below 3.8v when I'm practicing. We've learned over the years if you regularly go below 3.6v your $40 lipos are not going to last very long. When I say long my packs usually last over 200 cycles barring any physical damage.

I've recently got back into surface vehicles and with all of them the options for LVC is really low like 3.4 or 3.5v. By default my son's Tenacity T was set to 3.2v I think. Why? If I could I would set it to 3.8v on everything because these packs are really expensive lol.
